More Insights
Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1985, is very clean and well-maintained throughout. However, the kitchen features dated white cabinets, laminate countertops, and older appliances, while the bathroom also shows an older style vanity, lighting, and tub/shower combo. The overall aesthetic, including light fixtures and flooring, is functional and in good condition but clearly outdated, suggesting regular upkeep rather than a recent extensive renovation.
